Along came a new spider.

Alex arrived late at his orphanage, he was looking for his keys in his backpack when he realized that he had his make-shift bandana on. Quickly taking it off he made his way into his "home" taking in the stench. Beer bottles lay either shattered or empty across the floor. He turned his head slightly to the left to see his caretaker,Earl, passed out on the sofa. Slightly rolling his eyes Alex made his way upstairs and into his room. Trying to be as quite as possible. So he thought, there his long time orphanage friend lay awake and was waiting for him. Dylan, the man of many secrets and regrets. At least, that was his life story told by Alex.

"So...mind telling me how you got here so late?" Dylan asked,sarcastically.

"Ummm....got jumped?" Alex replied,weakly,

"Bull-shit. You saw some people get into trouble and you decided to help them didn't you? Explains your shirt being torn." He said,

"Well I couldn't just stand there! There were guys about to--"

"Listen. The people of New York are still,after fifteen years,recovering from the lost of their treasured hero. They will, the second you come on the scene, torture every paste bit of you and eat you alive. Alex,you're too young for that, I'm too young for that and I don't have powers like you do." Dylan stated.

"Parker did it when he was fifteen. I am too, what's the difference? He fought to protect his family. I have none. Tell me Dylan, what do I have to worry about if they,by chance reveal my secret to the world?" Alex shot back,assuming he had the upper hand.

"The orphanage, the children,trapped behind the bottles of a drunken idiot. You don't care for them? Alex you may not have a family but you have kids who are in the situation as you." Dylan firmly stated,

"None of those kids been through what I witnessed. You didn't either,so either help me with this or fuck off." He said.

"Listen, they won't stop until they catch you, our fair leader, Celestia, will want your body strung up on a pole. And they will see you bleed." he said, with a hint of fear lurking in his voice.

"Whatever, it's not like you can stop me from trying."

"Can you afford spandex?" He replied.

"...No..."

"First,get money,then we'll talk, 'till then, shut up and go to sleep."

"Fine...jackass."

"Love you too."

"So let me get this straight. You were about to get kidnapped by rapists when,all of a sudden, Spider-man appeared out of nowhere and saved you and your friends?"

"Yes Shining, for the millionth time, Spider-man, saved me and the gals." Twilight replied, agitation for having to repeat the story again to her brother.

"Well, unless Parker decided to come back from the grave to save you I'm not buying that this guy is Spider-man. From what you said, he's shorter, clumsier, and has no web shooters but can still shoot webs regardless. Face it Twi, we're dealing with a new Spider-Man. And I prefer to keep this guy in a cell, New York doesn't need another Spider-Man. Especially since the last one treated us like dirt." Shining stated.

"I don't think it's time to make quick judgements just yet. This guy probably did it because he saw us danger. Who knows if he's long gone by now." She said,obviously jumping to this mystery mans defense.

"Then prove it."

"What?"

"Prove that he's not a problem. Prove to me and the police that he's not a threat to the civilians of New York. Un-mask him. Find any dirt you can dig up. 'Cause he's certainly will go to a meeting and say 'I'm not a menace!' Prove. It. To. Everyone." He said.

"Fine,I'll prove it." She said as she got up,and went to her room.

"You were a bit harsh honey, obviously you should show the guy decency for saving your sister" Cadence,Shinings wife,stated.

"She always gets into trouble, but I don't want to put all of New York's trust into one masked man in tights again, especially since he left it in ruin." He replied.Coldly.

"Fine. I'll be in bed, I got to catch up on my stories."

     Twilight proceeded to lay out the materials she needed to prove that this new "Spider-man" was here to help. But then she realized, to do this will take up too much of her time. And she will need the upmost of help to prove that this Spider-Man is here to help.

She needed her friends to do this quest.
